This was gonna be a response to Justin's blog but it wasn't liking me so it'll end up here. It'll be my question of the day or whatever
Which is better, sudden urges of strong emotions that cannot be explained or suddenly realizing you haven't felt strongly for quite some time?

The latter of the two, for me at least. Shadows of feelings pale in comparison to the real thing. Memories do fade and lose the original power, but reexperiencing something that has been long (or shortly) forgotten is sweeter and refreshing.
I think that having the sudden urges of strong emotions is better, because then I know that I haven't gone completely numb and that I still have the capacity to feel SOMETHING, I'd much prefer THAT than realize that I hadn't been able to feel strongly about anything.
umm i think the realizing you havent stringly in awhile. you should always be feeling certain emotions and then there are also certain emotions you dont want bursting upon you all of a sudden.
I'll take the rush. I can think of event in my live that will bring this rushing of emotions. I also know somethings that will always get me pumped up. With a little more practice I will be able to do it at will. At least I hope so.
If one does not feel emotion, I think that there is a problem. We should not be dull to emotion. It has its purpose, good and bad, happy and sad.
To continue what I was saying: If one becomes impartial to emotions, it is like becoming apathetic, which is bad. In fact, it is apathy. Not to care, not to feel good or bad either way. It is called being desensitized.
The Spirit brings emotion. And we should not flee from that things the Spirit brings.
I have to say that the second (suddenly realizing you havent felt strongly for quite some time) is the best choice. With the first, things are ok. So gravy there. But with the second you have identified that there is a problem. You can then grow and develop, attaining both emotional energy and introspection at the same time. Quite a potent match there. It is also the more difficult path.
Reed, I agree with you. Though my comment did not fully express my thoughts, I agree.
